Enhancing Public Services and Infrastructure
According to Kofi Tonto Dr. Bawumia’s contributions extend beyond technological advancements. He also emphasized improvements in public services and infrastructure
“If a young person sees an ambulance in the constituency provided by the government, that’s a young person who is seeing a direct impact of the vice president.
“If the young person wants to renew their NHIA, if the young person has to go and do something and they need a Ghana Card, that person is impacted.
